Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel integrin .alpha..sup.E subunit and its functional equivalents. The method for screening a molecular library to identify lead compounds which mimick the in vivo activity of an integrin .alpha..sup.E chain is disclosed. The invention further includes pharmaceutical compositions containing the isolated peptides, oligonucleotides encoding the peptides, vectors containing the oligonucleotides, and cell lines transfected with the vectors.
